Currently have £30,200 in shares, and I'm planning on putting in £1000 a month to boost this. Currently generating £1200 a year in dividends, which I will be reinvesting back into the market.

The aim is to get to £100,000 portfolio value in 3 years. What do you think?

Honestly? I think it's probably the wrong place to discuss

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you begin with?
I think it's good you're actually investing rather than short selling but markets can just dip so it's risky

I started with £0. This is all the money from my part time job and dividends reinvestment, plus PhD stipend payments. Profit wise I've made £3600 so far this tax year (including dividends)

Short selling is for traders, but it's risky since you can have infinite losses. I'm not a trader, I just invest, aggressively right now. Like I have £70 in my bank account, just to pay off food and travel costs. All my money is going into the market.

When they dip, you buy more.

I do stock pick and one or two funds (because I don't understand india), but all my US and UK stocks I pick and I choose when to buy in. So I'm always watching the market, I use graham buffett value investing principles.
